Signing Brissett eliminates this for me. He’s still young enough (28) that there is some upside there. I think we are in really good shape for next year with what we have. No need to add a third QB especially with an early pick. Maybe we take a shot at an Undrafted guy and see if he shows enough promise to stick around as QB3. If not roll with Tua and Brissett

I like Trask in the third if he falls that far.
I wouldn't mind drafting a guy to develop but no way would I do it in the second round. I would maybe consider a guy like David Mills in the fourth round or later though if he is still available.

Yup.
If a guy you like falls into the third, you have to at least consider it.
We have too many holes to invest a premium pick (1st or 2nd round) in QB.

If you're planning on carrying 3 qbs, you have an excess of late draft picks and you see someone you think is better than what you have maybe. In Miami's case maybe if you had a few 6th or 7th round picks and you wanted to take a flier on someone. As it sits and in todays league it makes just as much sense to pass on drafting a qb late and if you need a project type qb just snag them from someone elses practice squad.
Not in the first or second

To me, Trask has a whiff of Brady around him.
He isn't very mobile, but he works hard... and keeps working hard... improving himself every year. Making his teammates better...
No, he'll likely never be in the same area code as Brady, but I like his chances to stick and maybe develop into a really good starter.

I think the game has evolved since Parcells made that comment, the "developmental" QB is an endangered species. That said if someone you love slips then you have to take a look but I dont feel like we are in that position.

QB @3 or ignore the position.
If ??? Flo is really sold on Tua don't put your pinky in the luke warm water.
Roll with the **** we got and hope for the best outcome.

Trask would be a very interesting late day 2-day 3 QB to develop.

Id love to see a side-by-side breakdown of Trask vs a Mack Jones.
Is Jones a 1st-Rnd QB? If so, is it for the same reasons that got Tua drafted high? Will it backfire like it's 'seemingly' backfired for Miami?
Is Jones a more NFL-capable QB than Trask?

Side by side breakdowns for QBs are always tough... it's hard to balance out the weapons that each have, their blocking, even their opponents.
I think this is why so many QBs fail. They are just hard to measure.
I think Jones is better regarded by most, and will go higher than Trask... but that's why I'd be looking at Trask... simply a value play.
